Why foundations move in Tullahoma
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Tullahoma is Dickson at about 80 percent of the survey, with Mountview alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 44 percent clay and 42 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.76 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Against 44 percent clay across Coffee County, the city sample reads 20 percent. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
Middle Tennessee clay swells in a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer, and a foundation moves with it. That shrink swell cycle is the seasonal load these footings carry.
The age of the housing
The 1990s put up more homes than any other decade, 1,636 of them, and the median year built is 1979. The 4,887 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. 17 percent of the housing here, 1,518 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 59 percent carry a mortgage.
